This main function of this website was formerly to advertise events at the very successful Folk at the Royal Oak, Lewes venture which was
organised by Vic & Tina. We decided that, after 50 years of running folk clubs, the last 23 at the Royal Oak, it was time for us to step down.
The club was still running very successfully and we did hope that others would step up to take over the organisation. Sadly, this did not happen
and the club closed at the end of 2013.
We are now using the site for a number of other folk music activities that we are involved in and you can see them listed on the left of the screen.
click on each of these to go to that part of the website.
This is the Home Page and you are here!
The page for the very popular, long running barn dance/ceildh band. The Sussex Pistols. You can hear five tracks of the band,
read the biographies of the six members and many unsolicited messages of thanks for those we have performed for. Vic and Tina were
founder members of this band.
